chime in without having to post their own "me too" comments)
- Ability to quote more than one prior comment (without having to do so totally
manually)
- Ability to reply to more than one comment if the prior comments are in different
sub-branches of the thread
- Ability to edit comments rather than cancelling them altogether and starting
over
It seems there are a good number of simple, plug-and-play forum software systems
around today that enable such features and much more without a whole lot of administrative
setup effort.

I would like the forum messages to have a YEA OR NAY vote button, but really
just a NAY. Buyers or sellers with at least a 250+ feedback can vote (all nay
posts moved to "off Topic" . Then maybe the people that actually contribute
to the site will start using the forum again.

Without seeing the order details (qty of parts, order total, rareness of parts
in question, etc), I can not say. Each case needs to be handled differently
depending on its complexity. As a seller I know when the part might be crucial
to the order or not and I will slash the shipping in half or email them and
ask for their input (would they like a full refund). Sometimes it's just
a quick note, hey I'm minus 1 on this part.
That being said if ever sent a customer a Mega blocks product I would give them
a full refund ASAP.

| In Shipping, SmokeFreeStuds writes:
| | When re-selling a used set with the instructions included, if they were never
folded originally, is it acceptable to fold them when shipped with the set, or
is that frowned upon? I have some sets with larger instruction booklets, and
while the sets themselves may not take up much space, if I don't fold the
instructions then I would require a much larger box. If I were to fold the instructions
in half, is that something I am expected to disclose in the item listing, or
is folding instructions something that is generally acceptable and does not need
to be indicated?
|
Short answer is NO, but never introduce folds just to make shipping easier.
- Some small instructions are pre-folded by Lego and need to be left in that
original format.
- Others are perfectly in a half fold from Lego (these I unfold and package),
describing the 1/2 fold in description of item.
- Last are folds due to box / packaging damage / movement, and need to be listed
as Used with description of quality.
Hope this answered your question.

|
| | | I think it is important to remember that Bricklink was created to be a marketplace
to buy and sell LEGO. It was not created to be a bible or a reference guide;
that is just a side effect. And it is a problem that too many see Bricklink as
a Bible; many take it too literally, and forget that it is full of errors, or
that many sets and minifigs were produced with several part variants. Lots of
those are not reflected in the catalogue.
I agree with all the changes that has been planned now, and I hope that more
variants are being merged in the future.

- One of the complaints here is always "PLEASE DON'T CHANGE THIS OR THAT"

I received a neutral feedback from a new member of Bricklink. I do not agree
with the feedback as I messaged the person BEFORE the order was sent and the
description also mentioned that instructions were not included, yet he left feedback
that my description is misleading. If he would have read the entire description
he would have noticed that I mentioned instructions were not included, and I
also wrote a message through BL messenger that the instructions were not included
before sending the item to him. There was no response to any communication I
sent him. Is there a way to dispute feedback?

Strong sellers are going to just take unwarranted feedback on the chin. Communication
is king especially before you ship or at the time you ship the order. Best just
save all your energy on making you store the best it can be.

1) do nothing and my variants will be merged automatically (if applicable)

3) manually to through the 4.394 parts effected and add notes?
Some explanation would be nice.

Before lots were moved to "marked for deletion" and sellers moved them
over manually or not. Not sure why instructions are not being given on what
seems to be a new process. I made a list of effected lots and made sure my data
is backed up via Brickstore. My only question is are remarks going to be retained
if lots are merged automatically.

For anyone reading this, we found best practice is to add actual shipping cost

Then at end of year you can download all order Data into a spreadsheet then total

the comments section of these others sellers. I know this does not apply to

If the sellers price them low AND state they are broken then I only see it skewing

Are the ones you have bought broken listed as such?
